To those you are teaching and preaching to?   They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Sovereignty/Our strength

Isaiah 40:28-31  28    Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired.  His understanding is inscrutable.  29 He gives strength to the weary,  and to him who lacks might He increases power.  30 Though youths grow weary and tired,  and vigorous young men stumble  badly,  31 Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength;  they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired,  they will walk and not become weary.

Our confidence/His will

Jeremiah 29:11-14 11 ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 12           ‘Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 ‘You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 ‘I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord.’

Our words
